Disease Reversal
Work side by side with our physicians — and go home with better numbers, new habits, and a plan to keep them.
Is this program for you?
This program is for people living with type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, excess weight, or fatty liver — and for anyone tired of watching their numbers climb year after year. Many of our guests arrive on several medications. Many come because a doctor, a friend, or a son or daughter said, "It's time to do something different." If that sounds like you, you're who we built this for.
Your stay starts with a physician evaluation and a full set of labs, so we know exactly where you are. From there, your doctor builds a personal plan. Each day brings simple, natural therapies: plant-based meals, guided exercise, hydrotherapy, rest, and classes that teach you how to keep it all going at home. If your numbers improve, your physician may adjust your medications — safely, and only under their supervision.
In a 2026 peer-reviewed study of 109 Wildwood guests, guests lowered their blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar, and weight — and the weight loss held more than eight months later. Read the full study
Choose your stay
Longer stays give your body more time to change — and give you more time to practice your new habits before you head home.

Physician care
You're under a doctor's care from day one — evaluation, ongoing visits, and any medication changes made safely along the way.
Labs & a take-home plan
We test your numbers when you arrive, track them during your stay, and send you home with results and a written plan.
Plant-based meals
Three simple, satisfying plant-based meals a day — the same way of eating our published results were built on.
Hydrotherapy & natural treatments
Time-tested water therapies that ease pain, improve circulation, and help your body rest and recover.
Classes & cooking school
Daily health talks and hands-on cooking classes, so the changes you make here come home with you.

Common questions
Honest answers about a Disease Reversal stay. Can't find yours? Call (706) 419-3883.
Who is this program for?
It's for adults managing chronic conditions like type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, excess weight, or fatty liver. It's also for people who want to turn things around before a diagnosis arrives. If you're not sure it's a fit, call us — we'll talk it through honestly.
Do I need a referral from my doctor?
No referral is needed to apply. After you apply, our team reviews your health history to make sure we can serve you safely. We're glad to coordinate with your home doctor before and after your stay.
What happens with my current medications?
Bring them all with you, and keep taking them as prescribed. During your stay, our physicians watch your numbers closely. If your body responds, your doctor may lower a dose — always under physician supervision, never on your own. In our 2026 published study, about 1 in 6 guests reduced or came off blood-pressure medication during the program.
What should I bring, and what should I expect?
Bring comfortable walking shoes, casual clothes, your medications, and any recent lab results or medical records. Expect full days, simple food, plenty of rest, and real work — this is a health program, not a spa vacation. Most guests say the routine feels natural within a few days.
Is Wildwood religious?
Wildwood is a Seventh-day Adventist health ministry, and faith is part of our story — it's why we've cared for guests here since 1942. Worship times are offered daily and are always optional. Guests of all faiths, and no faith, are warmly welcome.
How do I get started?
Two easy ways. Call us at (706) 419-3883 and we'll answer your questions and walk you through it. Or fill out our short application online — it takes about five minutes, and our guest services team will call you to handle the rest.
